I just wanted to give you some advice on the oven not working. RV ovens are notorious for not lighting. Use a BBQ lighter to try and get the pilot light going. A lot of times the oven just doesn't start because the electric igniter isn't able to get the pilot light going. And something else that I've done with my RV oven is to keep a rectangular pizza stone permanently in the oven on the lower rack. The heat from the burners is very uneven and can lead to burning parts of the food, so by adding the pizza stone between the flame and the food, it makes for a much more even heat.

Hi Kenzie I'm loving these longer videos! 27 minutes this time! Yes, we do notice.

[tonycummings]

My goodness when Beau looked up at the camera while Spencer was working on the stove I could see Spencer in her sooo clearly, but don't worry McKinsey I see you in her to, but the most beautiful part is Spencer reading the book to the kids. That is sweet. You both are such great parents. Congratulations on the new camper. I look forward to new adventures. Give Beau and Cam a big hug for me and tell Bear and Io I said Hi. God bless you all.

Good move buying a trailer. I started out camping as a Boy Scout, then the Army, then (1970) I bought a VW Camper Van and being stationed in Germany my wife and I traveled all over Europe. I even got out of the Army and stayed in Germany for six months. Upon returning to the states (Chicago area) and sold the VW and bought a new Class B van for $5, 000.00 (1973). Had that for twenty years and gave it to my younger brother and he had it for 10 more years. Next we bought a used Pop-up camper when our two girls were 2 and 4 years old. Six years later we bought a 30 foot travel trailer (bunk house type) with a queen bed in front and four bunks in the back. We had that until the girls moved out of the house. We had the same problem with our ovens in two of our four camping vehicles/trailers. We added shoe bags to hold things like grill lighters, flash lights, string/rope, etc. Same thing in the Bathroom for toiletries, wash cloths, etc. We mostly used paper plates, paper bowls, etc, and burned them in the nightly fires. We camped all over the U.S. From Niagara Falls, to Yellowstone but mostly a state park in Michigan. Gun Lake state park. We rented pontoon boats, Skidoos, and fishing boats. You will never regret camping vacations. I spent 250 a year for insurance, 250 a year for storage, 250 a year in upkeep (batteries, tires, propane, and a complete set of dishes, pots and pans etc dedicated just for the trailer) 250 a year in upgrades. But once we had a it where it was ready to go in an hour or two of deciding to travel somewhere, we were on the road. We would buy groceries on the way. We just had to pack our clothes and we were off and running. So now I am 75, my wife has passed away and I about 100 photo albums of my travels. When I retired, my first project was organizing all the photo in albums by trip and then year. I will usually pull one out a week to look at to remember how much fun we had over the years. The girls still talk about all the things they learned camping with mom and dad. From cooking over a fire, roasting marshmallows. fishing, skiing, horseback riding, hiking, swimming, doing the dishes, cleaning the grill, setting up camp, and a whole lot more. Enjoy your time with the kids, they grow up too fast. Sorry this is so long.

It blows my mind how happy you make my heart! This whole adventure with you guys has been better than any TV show. Thank you so much! It's amazing to see how entertainment has evolved :)

[pamelabranch]

You should definitely take that shot of Spencer reading a book to the kids and have it framed. So beautiful ❤️

[AprilRaine]

I'm very impressed with how Spencer can always figure out a way to fix & forge things basically out of nothing. How amazing is that? I love that precious Beau wanted to "help" her daddy in the camper with the oven. Traveling and camping is building strong memories for your children that will last generations beyond you both. I never got anything like what you do for your two kiddos. Keep up the great parenting. Kenzie, love how you laugh and joke with your kids.

[MichaelSmith-xswp]

You forgot to announce the 'cliffhanger' moment about the surprise. Not to worry, we enjoy watching all your videos, seeing your kids grow up and all your DIY adventures.
Spencer is ALWAYS working on something besides his tan...

[AVMamfortas]

Your little angelic girl is learning that 'Daddy can fix anything'. It should not be hard to move her to 'anything can be fixed'. Later in life she will be a 'keeper', just like Mummy.

[DanaBecker-xh]

I LOVE the way you are interacting with each other and the LOVE & RESPECT & ADMIRATION so visible in your eyes. Great work. BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

[michaelwilliams]

Who would have thought I would watch a video explaining how to use a toilet.🙂 Spencer, your skills of installing what needs to be installed is expanding all the time.
Stay safe, love to you all from Mike. ❤

[PaulButkiewicz]

I like the idea of keeping a list of your travels in the book, but maybe consider buying a second one. It'll be nice for each of the kids to have when they grow up. When my sister and I were little, my mom made us each our own little photo albums. I cherish mine to this day, and am grateful that my sister and I both have the albums to relive the memories of growing up

[coppertopjohnson]

Looks like someone has purchased some new property. And there is a missing mustache. Loved the shot of Spencer reading to the kids. Thank you for sharing pieces of your lives with us. ❤

Nice caravan! (Ok, I’m a Brit😁)
We’ve had a composting loo for a decade or so. I’ve found that softwood sawdust and woodchip from chainsawing works fine, just sprinkle a small scoop down the hole after each visit.
When the bucket’s as full as seems wise it gets emptied out in the woods or bagged and, as you said, put aside for a year or so at which point it’s just excellent compost for trees and shrubbery.
I won’t use it on any food crops but some do, apparently.

One thing I’ve found to be an excellent addition is a mushroom cowled solar fan in the bathroom and loo roof, they’re pretty cheap and last a few years if you remember to cover them to stop them from operating when you’re not using the van.

They don’t let water in and help keep the bathroom and loo dry and odour free, also keeping air going in the right direction…away from the living areas.

Enjoy the van, you’ve earned it!

Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻

Happy Father's Day Spencer and the rest of the fathers watching this on such a wonderful day! Hope everyone is doing well!

That was my first time I GOT A JOB AT THE BASIN at BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK after I graduated from Lovington N.Mexico State out of High School. Two of my Cousins were Park RANGERS part time due to going to college in ALPINE. So they convinced my parents that it was safe for me to work at THE BASIN. I LOVED IT, I fell in LOVE, make sure you go to Boquilla canyon and Santa Elena canyon, also the waterfall, I become a Rock climber after work at the Basin I had spectators as I climbed, which turned out as a show, the view from that angle top was awesome. It’s very ROCKY and you will see a breathless view. It’s right in front of the BASIN RESTAURANT, LOTS of SOUVENIRS Shops AND YES THEIR USED TO BE A CAMPING SITE JUST BELOW the Basin and when you reach the basin also, they do have motel & cabins. ENJOY.

[TraceyM]

That, my friends, is new property! Can't wait to see more! Woohooo!

[Mary-goxc]

Glad to see you getting on the road. You are so lucky your man is able to make your alterations and troubleshoot your camper!! You 2 rock.

[stephanwilson]

If you store your RV where it is in the video you are likely to get mice or other critters. Be sure all openings under the rig is sealed with foam or steel wool.

Spencer Mack, loving the longer videos! I watch a few other off grid type channels as well as a few in other genres and them like you guys are doing something that I see is becoming more sought after regardless of the content of one's channel... longer vids, 30-60 mins and not full of ads or sponsored crap! There is one nameless western off grid container channel similar to you guys. They also have great content, but between the ads and the sponored content added in, it's no longer enjoyable to watch! I consistently see more and more comments telling the channel owners and creators they want longer videos and less ads, sponsored crap and asking for money, followers, subs and added amazon wishlist links. The above channel, after their 4th or 5th year now they are still at 200K subs. You two hit 1 million in just 2 0r 3 years? Your channel and the dozen or so channels all have awesome content, not asking for money, subs, have tons of ads (like 1 every 3-5 mins), do the sponsored ads, products, services, etc, and you all have well over 1 million loyal followers! YAY!!!!

IF YOU ARE A COMMERCIAL OR PRO PHOTOGRAPHER READING THIS, I would love to thank you for the fact that Spencer & Mackinzie and others cannot film for commercial use in State & National Parks becuase over pat decades, you all have abused "public" property while charging clients ungodly amounts while conducting "commercial" business and disturbing other users of the parks to the point where now you need a commercial photography permit to photography or film in our state and national parks. Even 20 years later, I still see you guys in photography groups try to buck the system, not get a $50 (+/-) permit, yet charge your clients, (often landscape or wedding photogs) thousand of dollars, and when you get caught with a ton of people, using multiple tripods, stobes, softboxes, etc, you all still want to whine complain and bitch. I have seen in recent year those who still try to buck the system get caught by the feds after bucking the system of getting a petty permit and now you had remove those photos and videos and pay hefty fines. It prettt easy to see you are engaging in "commercial" business and look at you content and seeState & National parks in the background. So thanks for ruining it for people like Spencer, Mackenzie and the rest of us!!!

Mackenzie & Spencer, keep rocking and love you content!!!
